Day 5 - Mexican Pie

Today for dinner we tried a new recipe called Mexican Pie.

The recipe: Mexican Pie (www.mommyskitchen.net) (mommyhatescooking.com)

1lb ground beef, browned
1 packet taco seasoning
1 15oz can corn, drained
1 8oz can tomato sauce
Shredded Mexican Style 4 Cheese Blend
Flour Tortillas

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook and drain ground beef, then add seasoning as instructed on package. Spray pie pan with cooking spray and pour beef on the bottom. Top the beef with the corn, and pour tomato sauce over, spreading it out evenly. Cut the tortillas into narrow strips and place them on top like you would a pie. Top the tortillas with cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
 

What I did differently:

I used frozen corn instead of canned and cheddar cheese instead of the Mexican. We also topped ours with sour cream and olives once it was cooked.

What we thought:

It was a big hit! The hubby and my toddler both loved it. Will definitely make it again and, as a plus, it was super easy and quick to make.
